Abstract: The aim of this work was to characterize euthanasia from an ethical perspective and to build meanings for management, through the comparison of research and its relations with the Nuremberg Code and the Declaration of Helsinki. Nine articles were selected with the construct "euthanasia" to identify the current discussions on the theme that demonstrates its multidisciplinary character. To achieve the proposed objective, the content analysis was performed that separated the theme into five clusters, relating the frequency and significance. The results indicate that euthanasia is related to autonomy, freedom, dignity, the right to life and social problems that can induce death without due reflection, the same is the case with organizations. These rights would be protected by medical ethics that has no global conformity, mainly by the moderating effect that deals with social issues, in the management individual decisions tend to contain misunderstandings so collegiate decisions maintain more coherence with the institutional purpose, respecting different cultures.
